Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy
Meaning-centered psychotherapy (MCP) is a manualized brief, structured psychotherapeutic intervention to help patients suffering from the loss of meaning around illness. It is designed to help diminish feelings of despair that can be associated with cancer or other serious threat to life by helping patients focus on the importance of creating, reconnecting with, experiencing, and sustaining meaning in the face of illness. It can be offered as an individual or group therapeutic treatment.
